Edit (Preferences) > Settings > Connection > SFTP, Click “Add key file”.This source IP will allow all SSH requests from anywhere: 0.0.0.0/0.

You need to find/add a rule that allows port 22(SSH) from your IP address.

Then find out which inbound connections are allowed for those security groups.

First, find out which security groups your EC2 instance is a member of.

It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. The post will demonstrate how to access Amazon EC2 via SFTP protocol.Īmazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. with tools such as Filezilla, Cyberduck and WinScp.

We’re available for partnerships and open for new projects.Accessing EC2 via ssh is the best option in my opinion for developers but sometimes people with minimal development skills needs to access web servers to upload images, videos, audio etc. As mentioned in one of the paragraphs, it has many additional options to be used, but we only need a few of them to be able to do a basic data transfer.

Scp is a very powerful command which allows us to easily transfer files between local and remote AWS server. ~/Downloads specifying path to the destination directory on the local machine (where transferred file will exist after execution).~/deployment/current/src specifying path to the directory which we want to transfer to from AWS server.-r specifying AWS user and IP address of the remote instance, this time with -r option we say that we want to transfer directory recursively.

-i ~/.ssh/key specifying path to the identity_file, key which you also use for ssh connection with your AWS instance.

Let’s segment command for easier understanding:
